IPL 2018: Three batsmen with 10+ sixes in an innings without a century

#3 Shreyas Iyer - 93 off 40 (10 sixes)

It was Iyer's first game as captain of Delhi

Delhi Daredevils weren't having a good season and the captain Gambhir decided to hand over the reigns to young Iyer, who had been scoring the runs for Delhi.

KKR were in town and young Iyer went out to lead Delhi for the very first time. There was immense pressure on the young lad but that didn't make him from making brave decisions. He promoted himself to number three and that worked wonders for Delhi.

He began to find the gaps and slowly but gradually he picked up and began dispatching a hapless KKR bowling unit to all parts of the Feroz Shah Kotla.

He collected a massive 29 runs of the final over to help Delhi to an impressive 219 which was well defended by his bowlers.

Iyer remained unbeaten on 93 off just 40 deliveries. His innings was studded with three fours and 10 massive sixes. It was a dream captaincy debut for young Iyer who not only got Delhi's campaign back on track but also ended up with the man of the match award for his scintillating strokeplay.
